Seeing Xiao Yuexi and the others galloping away, Wei Chang was angry and anxious, and said to Yao Shensong uneasily: "Shensong, you run your errands, go to the epidemic center to find the one named Chengfeng, and let him go up the mountain to help." ”

Yao Shensong was stunned and said, "Mrs. Xiao, is this going to the bandit's den on the southern mountain again?" ”

Wei Chang rubbed his eyebrows and nodded, and said a little tiredly: "Go and go back quickly, be careful on the road." ”

"Good!" Yao Shensong did not doubt that he had him, and hurriedly did so.

——————

As Xiao Yuexi said, a large group of people and horses will inevitably make a lot of noise when they move, let alone on this barren mountain where no grass grows.

Xiao Yuexi led a team of soldiers from the army, and soon marched to the corner of the barren mountain, and when he met with the small soldiers planted here by the Imperial Forest Army, he could faintly detect some traces of the movement of the team.

After a brief conversation, Xiao Yuexi came to the secret passage they came out to take a look, but did not go down. Regardless of whether the hostages have been transferred or not, this secret passage is not something that can be entered casually. Who knows what "surprises" are waiting for below, even if there is no ambush, it will be very troublesome for the yellow finch to be behind.

Zhao Rong asked, "Mrs. Xiao, shall we go up the mountain?" ”

Xiao Yuexi said as a matter of course: "Yes." ”

Zhao Rong followed Huang Lian around these days to look around and touch nails, and it was easy to settle the garrisons in various places, and when he came back, he began to do the work of digging holes in the ground, and now he is also suffocated, and when he heard that he was going up the mountain to see the monkeys, the whole person was excited.

Xiao Yuexi said: "The mountain is their territory, and we can't make too much noise." Leave a few people to watch the horses and guard the surroundings, and we will go up on foot. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi smiled, looked at the direction of the top of the mountain with a calm gaze, and said: "Now that the epidemic has been controlled, it's time to reason with these mountain bandits - let's go up to explore the way, go back and discuss, and put this group of bandits in a nest forever!" ”

Zhao Rong naturally had no opinion, ordered a few people to stay, and the rest followed in Xiao Yuexi's footsteps.

Zhao Rong always followed Xiao Yuexi three steps behind the right, as if he was going up the mountain to play.

I don't know if I suddenly thought of something, Zhao Rong laughed out loud, causing Xiao Yuexi to look at him suspiciously.

Zhao Rong felt rude, touched his nose and said, "Haha! Weichen remembered to see you ten years ago, when you just came out of the palace and returned to your own house, sticking to the Hou Ye of the South of the Sticky Tight, one day Weichen went to the Hou Mansion to discuss with the Hou Ye, and heard you quarrel with the Hou Ye from afar, and insisted that you would join the army with your brother when you grew up, so I couldn't persuade you...... Oh, in the blink of an eye, it's all different. ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled and did not speak.

When I was young, I always made all kinds of bold promises, but how many of them really came true?

She and the queen entered the prison department, although it is not bad, but in her heart she still hopes to be able to join the army. It's just that later, even the freedom to wander around was gone, and she was thrown into the magnificent and deserted palace walls, and inexplicably became Mrs. Xiao.

When the chaos in Binzhou is calmed down and she returns to the capital, will there be such an opportunity to come out?

After thinking about it, I felt that such an opportunity should not be available. She came out on this trip, how many people and how many things were involved, and one more time, she was afraid that she would have to die to apologize.

Xiao Yuexi and the others are very fast, but the group of women, children and children in front of them can't do it. After a while, Xiao Yuexi and the others could already hear the sound of driving, shouting and crying floating from a distance, and the distance between them was already very close.

The barren mountains and wilderness are unobstructed, and if you continue like this, you will definitely be discovered, and the sky is bright, and you can't sneak into the cottage if you are lucky enough to follow the mountain.

So, Xiao Yuexi immediately ordered: "Attack, don't kill." ”

In the short four words, although Zhao Rong didn't quite understand his intentions, he was willing to obey orders, and as soon as he raised his hand, the Royal Forest Army dispersed at full speed, quietly marching towards the prey like a cheetah.

At the first glance, Xiao Yuexi saw that the twenty hostages were ordinary mountain bandits, with no combat effectiveness and no eyes. At this time, they were halfway up the mountain, there was no village in front of them, and there was no shop behind them, and they couldn't even call for help.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yuexi pressed the leader of the escort team and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, which was filled with medicine. Xiao Yuexi squinted her eyes, and without saying a word, she stuffed two into his mouth first, forcing him to swallow them, and then explained with a smile: "This is a special product made by the Department of Supervision and Nation, and it is a good thing that cannot be bought on the market. ”

The blood on the team leader's face, which was originally flushed by the press, faded, and he even forgot about the struggle, and said with tears: "Woman, heroine spare your life!" ”

Xiao Yuexi ignored him, threw the porcelain vase to Zhao Rong and said, "Come on, I still have it, and those who see it have a share." ”

After a short time, twenty mountain bandits sat in a group, and Xiao Yuexi's eyes fell on the hostage.

This is a team composed of dozens of women and children, most of them are children, and more than a dozen women are embarrassed to protect the children in their hands, even if Xiao Yuexi and these people subdue the mountain bandits, they still can't let down their guard. Each had vigilance and vigilance in their eyes, like a wounded mother animal, trying to fight to the death to save the children.

Xiao Yuexi let out a sigh of relief, walked in front of the hostage, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, gave a salute, and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, it's us who are late." ”

Zhao Rong leaned over and asked, "Mrs. Xiao, what about these hostages?" ”

This "Mrs. Xiao", the voice fell into everyone's ears not big or small, the faces of the mountain bandits were even better, and the faces of several women were even more stunned.

Xiao Yuexi ignored those gazes, and said to herself: "Send two people to send them down the mountain, and settle down in the epidemic center first." ”

When they heard that they could go down the mountain, the faces of those women were a little happy, but when they heard that they were going to the epidemic center, their expressions were a little hesitant.

When Xiao Yuexi saw it, she said: "You may not know that the epidemic has been controlled, and now the patients in the epidemic center have basically recovered, and they will not be infected again." ”

Xiao Yuexi didn't say that the epidemic was actually caused by poisoning, and it was easy to stabilize the people's hearts, so it was better not to cause trouble.

After sending away the hostages, Xiao Yuexi's eyes swept around indifferently, and the twenty mountain bandits were cold all over their bodies like falling into an ice cave, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Where are you going to take those women and children with you?" Xiao Yuexi suddenly spoke, her tone slightly lazy.

The team leader stammered: "Send, send it to the back mountain." ”

What is the purpose of their tossing and turning? Xiao Yuexi frowned and thought.

She had long been suspicious, and the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Xian happened to appear in the fishing village, and then the secret passage and hostages were discovered. In a place as big as a cottage, why do you want to keep hostages in a secret passage in a fishing village? And where is the legendary vein?

Xiao Yuexi: "Wait, why Houshan?" What's in the back mountain? ”

The team leader was about to cry: "I, I, I also do what I want, really, really don't know!" ”

"Chengfeng mentioned it to me," Xiao Yuexi said to herself: "When Ling Suihan was taken back to Huangfu for treatment, he woke up and said that he was arrested in the back mountain......"

Only later, he never mentioned it again. Do you think it's insignificant?

"Mrs. Xiao?" Seeing that Xiao Yuexi didn't move for a long time, Zhao Rong couldn't help asking, "What should I do next?" Still up the mountain? ”

Xiao Yuexi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." After a pause, her gaze fell meaningfully on the bodies of several mountain bandits, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes: "If you still want an antidote, you can cooperate well." ”

The mountain bandits made a bitter face as if they were mourning, and felt that the future was bleak.

Xiao Yuexi didn't care about that, and her eyes fell on the team leader: "You, what's your name?" ”

"Kong, Kongwu ......"

"......" Xiao Yuexi looked at the not very powerful body, a little speechless.

An hour later, in front of the gate of the cottage.

Kong Wu blushed and argued with the mountain bandit guarding the door: "That's Mrs. Xiao!" Even if you go, you may not be able to get out of it! Besides, although the hostages ran away, these are all Mrs. Xiao's subordinates, and they are not more useful than those girls and cubs? ”

Behind him, several ragged and gray-faced men, tall and short, fat and thin, each with their heads hung down, stood like a pile of frosted eggplants.

Xiao Yuexi mingled in the middle of this group of eggplants, fortunately she was well prepared, and she carried some materials for making dough closely, but the conditions were difficult, and the things made were unsatisfactory - it was not that she was not strong, she was extraordinarily effective this time, not only made a dough for herself, but the remaining materials were enough to stick a layer on Zhao Rong's face, except for ugliness, there was nothing else.

Ugly is really ugly, not terrifyingly ugly, but ugly with a sense of joy. Xiao Yuexi was mixed in the middle of the crowd, and she could still feel the smiles of the few people around her, obviously still immersed in the shock of seeing these two ugly faces for the first time.

Xiao Yuexi herself doesn't think anything, her identity is already transparent here, and she really needs to disguise herself if she wants to sneak into the cottage, and Zhao Rong is the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army after all, so she will inevitably be recognized to reduce her credibility, so she has to be wronged and play a clown.

"You bunch of shit!" The gatekeeper seemed to be of a higher level than Kong Wu and them, and scolded angrily with a look of hatred: "A few women and children can't stand it!" Let you do this little work all year round, and I'll make these moths for me! How do you know if these people weren't left behind on purpose? Do you have a long brain? ”

When he said the last sentence, he slapped his palm on Kong Wu's head, and the posture seemed to slap out the almond-sized brain inside.

Kong Wu retreated aggrievedly, and the mountain bandits guarding the gate swaggered to the middle of Xiao Yuexi and the others, their eyes swept sharply over them one by one, and finally, their eyes stayed on someone.
